Lot 2253
1812 Capped Bust Half Dollar. 2 over 1, small 8. PCGS graded MS-64. Magnificent deep steel blue toning on both sides, with areas of lighter gold near the edge. Well struck for this early series, with problem free devices and fields. A few minor hairlines can be seen as always, and there is a small irregular toned area behind Liberty's head on the ninth star. Fiery luster comes alive when examined under a light. PCGS has only graded 6 this high, with a single coin graded higher of the small 8 variety.
Estimated Value $2,500 - 3,000.
